Game Lived Up To The Billing

Tonight in Tarboro two giants in their respective divisions one a perennial state championship. Contender the other team  close but not quite to state championship quality.  Both teams were able to score on two of their three processions and the Vikings took a 15-14 halftime over Southern Nash.  A third quarter field goal gave the Firebirds the lead at 17-14 heading in  the fourth quarter.

Tarboro retook the lead with 8:26 to place but they could not keep the Firebirds out of the enzone so with 2:06 play in the game Southern Nash was ahead. 24-23.  Tarboro can't recover giving up a touchdown that late.

If you pull for the Vikings then this one point loss to a powerful 3-A school is not the end of the world.  Even though they win this one even a great 1-A school should be no match for a 3-A school looking to go deep in the playoffs. You can do all the analyzing  you want this was a super matchup win or lose.  Southern Nash wins 24-23.

Tonight in Charleston SC the  Campbell volleyball team goes to 2-0 in the Big South as they beat Charleston Southern 3-0 25-23-25-23-25-18.  the Lady Camels are now 11-7 on the season as just two games into conference play they have won 50 per cent more games this year over last  7 to 11.  The Camels head up to Conway where they play Coastal Carolina at 2pm Saturday afternoon.

Saturday morning at the Northern Nash baseball field they will be having a old timers baseball game at 10:30 am.  Players from out  of the past will get out the Ben Gay Saturday afternoon will try to prove they still have what it takes.
